US FBI Director Kash Patel has revealed thousands of classified documents pertaining to the Trump–Russia investigation in a closed room at the FBI headquarters in Washington.
One particular document that has become the centre of attention is a file kept inside a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) at the J. Edgar Hoover facility, containing a 29-page classified file.
The report contains allegations that the FBI intended to promote claims of collusion between Trump and the Russian government during the 2016 elections.
Within days of collecting intelligence, the FBI launched “Crossfire Hurricane”. Sources told reporters that “they will prove how the US government prepared a coordinated plan with the Clinton campaign by stirring up controversy connecting Trump to Russia.”
Crossfire Hurricane, a codename for the investigation into the alleged relationship between Trump and Russia, was prompted by the Steele Dossier.
The Steele Dossier was a compilation of unverified rumours regarding the current US President, Donald Trump, and the Russian government.
Meanwhile, Special Counsel John Durham, after investigating the documents in 2023, said the FBI and DOJ had “failed to uphold their mission” by relying on biased information to surveil Trump.
Further, US Director for National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently released a declassified congressional report alleging that the Obama administration had distorted intelligence to falsely suggest Trump had colluded with Moscow. She has called the effort a “treasonous conspiracy.”
The documents implicate top intelligence officials under Obama — among them former DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and National Security Adviser Susan Rice — in the alleged plot.
